Abstract: A computer based multi-channel radio system (200) can include a computer (214) coupled to a display (215) and having a graphical user interface (500) and a radio receiver (100) coupled to the computer for receiving a plurality of channels and data associated with the plurality of channels. The graphic user interface can selectively display at least a portion of the data associated with the plurality of channels. The data associated with the plurality of channels can be simultaneously updated. The radio receiver can include an output port (207) that enables the system to stream data or audio or video from a selected channel among the plurality of channels.

Abstract: A method (600) of dynamic group addressing in a digital audio receiver unit (28) includes the steps of receiving (602) a plurality of messages broadcast to a digital audio receiver among a plurality of digital audio receivers and receiving (604) at least one environmental input at the digital audio receiver. The method further includes the step (608 and 612) of selectively decoding at least one of the plurality of messages broadcast based on a selective call address and at least one environmental input received at the digital audio receiver.
